Christmas Cakes

Family Christmas cake. Handmade fondant figurines. Snowflakes fondant, made using set of cutters. Tinsel and star on tree painted with lustre dust and decorating alcohol. Figures sitting upright with the assistance of toothpicks, although did experiment with a piece of dried spaghetti with the tree – held the piece on and upright nicely and made the whole piece safe for little people to eat (if a little crunchy).

A rich fruit cake, with red fondant icing tied with a gold gum paste ribbon. Ribbon pieces made a week ahead and shaped and left to harden. Assembled with piece of fresh soft fondant and painted with gold lustre dust and cake decorating alcohol.
